Thermal Power Plants

Thermal power plants generate electricity by burning fuel such as coal, natural gas, or oil to produce heat. This heat turns water into steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator. As the turbine spins, it produces electricity that is supplied to homes and industries. The process involves converting chemical energy into thermal energy, then into mechanical energy, and finally into electrical energy. These plants are a common way to produce large amounts of electricity, but they also emit greenhouse gases and other pollutants, which impact the environment.
